Strawberry Season Job Opportunities for June 2026

We hire a small number of staff each year for the short but exciting strawberry harvest season in June. These positions are temporary, weather-dependent, and offer limited shifts, so they are best suited to students or anyone seeking short-term seasonal work rather than full-summer employment.

Because our season depends on the weather, we cannot give an exact start date. In past years, work has begun as early as June 9 and as late as June 28, so applicants must be available to start any time in June when the berries are ready. Flexibility is important during harvest season. We understand that many students are still in school until the end of June. Since our harvest often begins earlier, we give priority to university/college students and high school students who are finished school earlier and have daytime availability in June.

Employees will work approximately 2–12 shifts total. Full-season roles are usually filled by our family and returning staff, with additional help hired only when needed.

🍓 Nature of the work

The main job is picking strawberries, but working on the farm involves a variety of tasks. Staff may also be asked to:

Supervise and assist customers in the field
Help greet visitors and direct parking
Carry baskets of strawberries to customer vehicles when needed
Weed, pick rocks, or train runners when the field is not busy
Help with general farm work as required

Personal Requirements:

Adaptability to changing tasks and schedules
Comfortable with highly physical work and all outdoor weather conditions
Reliable and able to work independently or in a team
Attention to detail and commitment to high-quality work
Willingness to learn and use the scheduling app "DEPUTY"

Because we are open to the public, we are looking for people who are friendly, outgoing, responsible, and comfortable speaking with customers. Some shifts involve supervising visitors as much as picking, so a positive attitude is important.

🍓 Availability & expectations

These jobs require good availability during June, especially daytime hours in early to mid-June if the season starts early.

This position is a great fit for applicants who enjoy being outdoors and can be flexible with their schedule.
It may not be the best fit for those with very busy schedules, frequent sports commitments, or limited availability, since the timing of the harvest cannot be adjusted.

No experience is required, and this can be a great first job for the right person. We are happy to train, and we are looking for people who are reliable, flexible, and ready to jump in when the berries are ready.

We look forward to meeting this year’s strawberry crew! 🍓
